  • Motion reference: S5M-13651

That the Parliament recognises the work of Save A Child's Heart, which is based in Israel, on providing life-saving heart surgery and follow-up care to children from developing countries regardless of their nationality, creed or ability to pay; understands that it is an Israeli-based international humanitarian project that not only carries out surgery and ongoing care in Israel but helps to provide medical training to other medical professionals and deploys its personnel to partner sites to diagnose, teach and perform life-saving surgery; believes that the organisation treats children from 57 developing countries and holds a weekly clinic for Palestinian children; understands that, to date, it has reportedly saved the lives of over 4,800 children; welcomes the volunteering at the clinic of Eastwood resident, Sophie Judah; pays tribute to Sophie and the others who volunteer for the support they provide to its ongoing work, and trusts that Save A Child's Heart will continue to save the lives of children worldwide for whose families this organisation has often been a lifeline.
